This release of YAVP fixes various issues on different android versions and general bugs of the app.

What's New?

• Extended testing with all supported android versions, the app should now (hopefully) fully work on all supported versions (Issue #5 ; this requires further testing)
• Changed buffering behaviour to decrease buffering times
• Added ability to disable GL video effects (Anime4K) to lower battery drain
• Can now dismiss the update dialog by touching outside the dialog (this froze the app before)
• Check for INTERNET permissions instead of assuming they were granted (Issue #7)
• Add build flavors for github and fdroid release targets (should now be ready for fdroid submission (Issue #8 ))
• YAVP now uses the GNU GPLv3 (compatible with fdroid)
• Updated Android Studio and SDK to latest version

? Is this working? Anyway, this release fixes some issues with YAVP v973 and comes with some minor changes to the ui.

What's New

• by default, yavp will now scale videos to fit inside the given space (instead of cropping them to fit). the old behaviour can still be enabled in the settings. (Issue #6)
• use the "buffering wheel" as a visual indicator of the current volume and brightness level, also fix some graphical glitches.
• added better error handling for the media picker (this should resolve app crashes described in Issue #5, tho this needs some more testing)
• reduced the time between update checks to 12 hours (instead of 43 seconds)
• "resume playback" button on crash screen now actually works
• added additional device info in crash reports
• hopefully fix a issue where icons would randomly change color
• hide hour display on videos that are less than a hour long

This release finally adds a media chooser, so you can use YAVP without the need for a external app.

Features

• Introduced the Media Picker to make YAVP standalone
• Added automatic app updates (i hope they work ;))
• Tweaked app theme

Under The Hood

• Clean up layout xmls
• Now using vector drawables from android studio
• Updated dependencies

This release fixes some issues with the previous release (v876)

• Remove experimental autopause feature
• Remove gms dependency
• Actually generate a signed release apk (debugging disabled)

This release increases stability of the app while introducing new features. I also updated the UI. Changes include:

Features

• Double- Tap to seek
• UI Updates
• Skip Anime Opening
• A lot less crashes (i hope)

Under The Hood

• Move playback to a dedicated service
• Fix cache behaviour

First release of YAVP:

• Streaming of Video and Audio
• Volume and Brightness swipe controls
• Anime4K shader support
• Crash- Safe (= if it crashes, it saves your state)

I hope this works, however there might be a warning when installing (I'm new to app dev...)
